Ionic-framework: $ionicSlideBoxDelegate doesn't work with new ion-slides

[joanebrown]

I need to change the ion-slide-page dynamically, so, as says in the ion-slides docs I need to use $ionicSlideBoxDelegate.

And in the $ionicSlideBoxDelegate docs they says which I need to use the slide method.

So I tried with:

var secondSlide = 1;
$ionicSlideBoxDelegate.slide(secondSlide);

But doesn't work. Nothing happens, does not throw any errors.

There isn't any way to do that with the new and non deprecated ion-slides?

My environment:

Cordova CLI: 6.2.0
Ionic Framework Version: 1.3.1
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.16
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.7.3
Node Version: v4.2.2

Hello, thanks for opening an issue with us! Would you be able to provide a plunker that demonstrates this issue? Thanks for using Ionic!

Here is a codepen:

As you can see, the $ionicSlideBoxDelegate.slide(); doesn't work.

Hi @joanebrown,

The ion-slides uses the underlying API of Swiper mentioned at the top of the slide-boxes docs. So you've grabbed a reference to the slider onInit ($scope.slider), and then looking at the Swiper API you can use $scope.slider.slideTo(index) or in your case $scope.slider.slideTo(slider). I updated your plunkr.

I may be wrong, but I believe the $ionicSlideBoxDelegate is only for the old ion-slide-box component, where you're using the ion-slides component.

Cheers

Ooops! You're right. Thank you very much. :)

$ionicSlideBoxDelegate has now been deprecated.
